Mechelen - RWDM predictions

It’s easy to point out Mechelen as the clear favourites, but we wouldn’t call this match completely one-sided. The hosts are definitely more likely to win between the two, but a tie game is another possibility. An away win would be quite a surprise, but we’ve seen bigger upsets.

RWDM stand next to no chance at beating the hosts in this match. For instance, most bookies online offer odds of 5.29 for an away win, indicating a very small chance of success.

Mechelen are coming on the back of a surprise upturn in the previous round. The betting odds seemed stacked against them at kick-off, being the away team whose victory was priced at 7.50. They took the lead in the first half, however, and secured a stunning 1:2 victory against Gent .

RWDM supporters were shocked to see their team lose the previous Pro League game. With 1.94 betting odds stacked in their favour, they were seen as clear favourites to claim an easy home win. Instead, they were held to a halftime draw before being shocked with a 0:1 defeat.

The hosts have been careful not to let their goalscoring stats slip. They’ve scored more than 5 times during the last 3 matches, indicating consistent offensive results.

With 10 goals in their own net over the last 3 matches, RWDM’s defence leaves a lot to be desired.

This is the second time these two teams will clash as part of the current Pro League season. RWDM won the first time around, though it was a rather close victory and most bookies are expecting this match to end differently.

The hosts went through a slew of unfortunate injuries recently, rendering some of their players unavailable for the match this Sunday. Bas Van den Eynden, Boli Bolingoli-Mbombo, Toon Raemaekers will not be playing, though the team is still considered likely to win.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.91 odds offered at Pncl.
